I was a Captain at Continental Airlines when that aircraft was in the fleet and I probably flew it. I find it hard to believe that they didn’t notice the thrust levers during that climb not to mention the engine instruments. That is the worst case of tunnel vision in the cockpit that I ever saw.

A pilot who doesn't monitor their instruments is pretty much a powerless passenger

Notice to Pilots: You are required at all times to fly your plane.

It's becoming quite clear that the amount of hours a pilot has means little. In this scenario, even a student pilot could have saved the aircraft. Too many times these types of accidents occur because pilots rely on automation instead of actually flying the aircraft. The crash landing of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 in San Francisco immediately comes to mind. Sincere condolences to the families.

Tragic event. I find it so hard to believe that career pilots would fail to monitor the few instruments that are vital to diagnosing and assessing the status of their aircraft. I find it as unbelievable as not paying attention to the speedometer, wheel, and throttle of your car while driving on the roads.

It never cease to amaze me how pilots with so many flight hours seemingly forget to look at the instruments they learned about during their first very first flying lesson when an emergency takes place. There are several videos I’ve watched where that is a problem. It is even more amazing when one realizes there are TWO trained pilots on board.

Total incompetence and neglect of duty, what the hell were they doing, a quick visual sweep of the instrument displays and throttles would have prevented this from happening.

I love that there’s so many of these smaller air crash explanation videos. The three I watch, disaster breakdown, mentor pilot and green dot aviation all have unique ways of presenting their info. It’s really refreshing to watch multiple videos on the same crash and pretty much having three different videos which all drastically changed how the crash is perceived and the narrative of it. Really interesting.

"Experience alone is not an indicator of proficiency" is my quote of the day.

Shame as this accident was so prenventable, negligence from the airline for not fixing a persistant problem and negligence from the pilots for not monitoring their instuments properly. BTW, has anyone else stumbled accross this channel and got addicted?

I'm not a pilot but there sure was a lot of complacency in that cockpit.

I like that you have established a non-spoiling build up throughout all your videos. Even it's quite clear on how things won't end well this time, I still wasn't sure and was kept very engaged.

What I learned from this channel is that it’s amazing that I managed to survive all those years flying. Pilots have very hard complicated jobs. I don’t understand how flying is less scary than undergoing surgery.

As an Indonesian, I was really looking forward for SJ182 to be covered especially after its final report has been published just recently, and to be honest, I never thought you would be the first one to cover it! Stellar work as always, with great editing as well as the seamless transition between the PMDG 737 in MSFS for exterior shots as well as the (accurate) IXEG 737 Classic in XP11 for the cockpit shots. As well as the thorough explanation of the events unfolding that led into the accident, which is definitely way more informative-based compared to your usual Mayday episode. Great work as always!

I’m not a pilot so obviously idk what I’d do in this situation, but how is your reaction to basically falling out of the sky not to immediately look at the thing that tells you where you’re pointed? So frustrating how preventable this was.

The usage of minimal music during the pre-flight sections, followed by beats at the right time to kick things off when it gets serious, is so dope. In fact, zero music is required for the pre-flight.

South east asia really has a abysmal safety standard. I still can't imagine how a someone can become a captain when he gets 'startled' if something goes wrong? He turned the plane the wrong way? What?

Another excellent video. Terrifying to think the actual flight happened 3x faster than your reconstruction. We all see the faults and issues as you present them, but to unexpectant trusting pilots it must catch them so unaware and put them in a state of immediate shock that we can only imagine how it would feel, and how we would react in similar situations.
